1994 Map of Marion Forks

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Marion Forks serves as the central hub of this 1994 survey, situated where the North Santiam River meets Marion Creek. This area of the Cascades is defined by its water resources and forest management infrastructure, notably featuring the State Fish Hatchery and a complex Penstock system near the forks. The landscape is a network of high-elevation basins and peaks, including Saddle Mountain and Turpentine Peak, dotted with numerous alpine lakes like Nan-Scott Lake and Green Lake. To the east, the boundary of the Mount Jefferson Wilderness transitions into a more secluded backcountry, where the Marion Mountain Lookout House once monitored the surrounding Willamette National Forest. This map documents a specific moment in the management of the Santiam canyon, balancing industrial forestry needs with protected wilderness areas and the recreational draw of the high-country meadows such as Big Meadows and Twin Meadows.
